Vibrations in Reciprocating Machinery and Piping Systems
Written by the EDI Staff. June 2012
Softcover, 245 pages
A wide variety of vibration and failure problems occur in reciprocating machinery and piping systems. Excessive piping vibration problems usually occur when a mechanical natural frequency of the piping system or compressor manifold system is excited by a pulsation or mechanical excitation source. Since reciprocating compressors and pumps generate high pulsation levels at numerous harmonics, which in turn produce shaking forces, vibration and failure problems in these systems are common.
Vibration-Based Condition Monitoring
Robert Bond Randall
Softcover
Written by Robert Bond Randall. Mr. Randall developed this book based on notes for a course in machine condition monitoring hosted by himself for 10+ years at the University of New South Wales. This book provides a comprehensive survey of the application of vibration analysis to the condition monitoring of machines. Other topics covered are vibration signals from rotating & reciprocating machines, basic signal processing techniques, fault detection, diagnostic techniques, and prognostics.
